Muntadab would have a chance if taking part but was due to run at Musselburgh yesterday. Ryan Moore’s presence will attract interest in Shady Mccoy, placed in a valuable handicap at Ascot recently though connections will be hoping the forecast rain alters the current fast going. But all ground comes alike to the progressive GOOD EFFORT and he gets the nod facing an easier assignment than when runner-up in Listed company at Newbury last time. Hajjam has been raised 7lb for winning in testing going at Ayr and Graphite Storm has been upped 6lb for finishing second at Ascot while the unexposed Lord Oberon is another with a hike in the weights to contend with.
